Hello all!
I would like to introduce this prooject we have been working on for several months, the development of this new handle. With an integrated 2.4GHz transmitter, it brings the ergonomics and reliability of traditional grips but with the ability to extend the control and safety of your model. Initially we are thinking about Scale and Carrier flight modes but we plan to expand the project later to Stunt.

Some of the functionalities we have developed so far include:
- Throttle control and 2 auxiliary channels (for flaps, retracts, or whatever u want to add) with the possibility of expansion in the near future to 6 or more chanels.
- Screen with intuitive menus and joystick for navigation.
- Creation of up to 4 models and custom settings for circular flight.
- Slide & Lock mechanism for quick model exchange.
- Over 50 meters signal range
- Over 170lb pull test
- More than 4h of autonomy with a single 18650 cell.

One of our collaborators and test pilot will be Bob Whitney, an incredible pilot and outstanding judge in the world of line control. With his vast experience, Bob is providing valuable insights and reviewing our 2.4 GHz LineMaster control prototype. His confidence in our project is a testament to the seriousness and strength of our proposal. When the prototype is ready, Bob will be our test pilot, ensuring that the 2.4 GHz LineMaster meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

Bob - I will definitely check it out.  Look interesting (and small).

Nice handle, make additional bars available for people who have a dedicated set of lines for a model so that the handle can be moved from one airplane to another

Carlos - Contact me with pricing and other details that I put into the Feb CL Scale column. I would need the information by early Nov to get it into the magazine

There could be a problem using the neat feature to remove the handle from the lines during engine start procedures. Removing the actual handle from the part attached to the lines and then reconnecting it is similar to removing a conventional handle from the lines by removing the line connectors and then reconnecting them. In each case, in competition the control system would have to be pull tested again. This problem does not occur in systems where the radio component is separate from the handle component and only the radio is removed, leaving the handle-lines connection intact.

I saw these at Muncie.  You can't hardly compete without them.
I expect to need three for scale and six for carrier as soon as I get the airplanes ready.

I think this is a great ideal.  Back in 2014 I repackaged an RC car Tx & Rx to fit on top of a control line handle.  Worked great.  I haven't flown scale in years but your unit looks great.  My only question due to the low volume demand for U-control stuff will it be affordable to have parts molded?  Pictures attached of my one of a kind from 2014.  I used it in a Brodak LA-5 electric.

This handle is 3D printed! Yours looks cool!

As Pete Mazur pointed out, removing the line bar to take the rest of the handle to the airplane for starting would run afoul of the pull test rules in competition. If you had a complete handle with a detachable transmitter, this issue would be eliminated.
